    Abstract:
    Objectives: The MBO® Kompakt-Neurowoche is offered as a work-related medical rehabilitation measure (based on allocation by a physician) following a regular neurological rehabilitation program with a duration of 7 days. Program access, process, and outcomes were examined in terms of a formative evaluation. Method: Pre-post-questionnaire data from 5 data points were used: start of regular rehabilitation (T0); start of work-related rehabilitation (T1); end of work-related rehabilitation (T2); 6-months follow-up (T3); 12-months follow-up (T4). Results: N=252 patients (75% male, 48±10 years) were included. Participants report a higher work-related treatment motivation and a more positive subjective return-to-work prognosis as compared to nonparticipants (N=215). At T4, 76% are (very) satisfied with the program. Patients rate therapy elements focusing on the assessment and improvement of work-related capacity and memory as especially useful. Assistance in developing job-related alternatives should be optimized. Conclusions: Patients participating in the work-related program report both vocational problems and a high motivation to deal with these problems during rehabilitation. The program is rated as useful with regard to return to work and the management of workplace issues.
